What are we expecting for Lightyear next weekend? I feel like nobody cares about it and an opening in the 60s wouldn't surprise me.
Not sure about the number, but if it isn’t a breakout I think it might solidify animation/family specific films to being destined for day and date streaming

Top Gun: Maverick continuing to defy all understood box office trends has to be my favorite run in years

The Pentagon was involved in the making of this film?
plenty of films that heavily feature the US military have been assisted by them or some other department. It’s a pretty normal thing actually, Wikipedia has a list but I get the idea they are missing a bunch of filmshttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military-entertainment_complex

They'll be like Fallout where everybody will overpredict it and think it'll cross 300M+ easy because Top Gun 2 made so much money, when it'll only do a slight increase from their predecessors. That's not a bad thing I might add.
Surely the inflation surge could help a big. Fallout did what, $220m? That’s got to be around $240-250m by now after the inflation and premium screens getting a bigger priority now. I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility.-

Top Gun: Maverick = First $300M DOM grosser for Tom Cruise.
Next goal: TGM = First $1B WW grosser for Tom Cruise
Will be interesting how Mission Impossible 7 & 8 does at the box office, considering that the eight film is the finale for the franchise.
I’m interested in this too. I don’t think the bumps are gonna be crazy, I think the Top Gun IP was just something most of us severely underlooked in terms of potential. That being said Cruise shooting back up into the limelight and the goodwill he’s getting from Top Gun could very well make at least one of the two upcoming MI movies have $300m potential -
Absolutely phenomenal. 29% off of an inflated holiday opening. I really hope it can coexist with Jurassic, I know losing a lot of premium screens will hurt a bit, but hopefully good WOM will keep propelling it forward. I really hope to see $50+ million this next weekend.

If this does $30m Sunday this is fucking bonkers

It's ridicuosly early, but already it is looking flat to slightly up.
Holy shit

I don’t wanna get too bullish on the weekend just yet but that is a an absolutely fantastic hold. My threshold for success is $63-65m. A sub 50% drop I think puts this on a clear course for $400m domestic
-
If this can manage a sub 50% second weekend drop after it’s boosted day to day numbers last weekend I think we really might be in for a hell of a run here

Dunkirk won 3 Oscars. That's not "ignored".
And made nearly $200m domestic despite being about a story from WWII most Americans were only vaguely aware of

That 126 minute runtime is such a breath of fresh air.

It depends on the context of the movie though. Given the history around Oppenhiemer and the key names involved, people would already have been expecting a largely white cast before they were announced so all the slack just comes across as virtue signalling at this point.
rational thinking doesn't belong on the internets though, much less on twitter

How the fuck did Spider-Man only drop 24% with direct competition

Deadline at 55m for Friday and 110 for the OW
I know it’s Deadline and math isn’t their strong suit but $55m Friday should end up a decent bit higher than $110m unless this thing falls off a cliff-

I saw familes with small children at my showing of Uncharted lol. Turning Red goint straight to streaming was suuuuuch a dumb move.
All according to plan for Sonic 2 to become the new Shrek 2 -
Would honestly not be surprised if Sonic 2 flirts with $80-90m opening weekend

Seeing as Tom Holland is an executive producer on this movie, if he cares about being in good movies, he should pull a similar card to Tom Hardy with Venom and kick Ruben Fleischer out of the Director's chair for the sequel.
Or just see if there's still a role in Oppenheimer left to take and start buddying with Nolan on everything

Dog's opening isn't anything huge but it IS a good sign for non blockbuster releases moving into the rest of 2022

Ehh, maybe if they cut down the budget, but I still think Uncharted is coasting off Spider-Mania and Uncharted 2 will probably see a hefty drop.
I think it would definitely drop, much like RE sequels did eventually and Tomb Raider did. So yeah they'd have to adjust the budget.
That said I think Holland has gained a lot of fans that will be interested in properties just because he's in it, so he's pretty much the closest thing we have to like, 1988 Tom Cruise rn. Idk how long it will last though.

I wouldn't be surprised if Uncharted becomes another Resident Evil consistent earner. Never really crossing the threshold to being a "major" blockbuster but keeping enough people coming around. Fans of the games (like myself) will be more mixed to negative on it but enough casual filmgoers will enjoy it enough to keep it going for another couple of movies I imagine. Honestly I can't say I was a fan of it (too many deviations and odd choices from what should have been the easiest video game adaptation ever) but the movie wasn't poorly made and I definitely think casual audiences will like it.
That said the adaptation I have absolutely zero hope for is Metal Gear Solid if that hasn't gone back into development hell yet

If Uncharted manages a 15 mil Friday (including Thursday sneaks). What are we thinking the rest of the week looks like in terms of the multiplier?
It would likely come close to $40m for the 3-day based on a $15m total Friday
Lightyear | 6/17/22 | Disney/Pixar | PUPPY INTERVIEW FRIDAY SO NO REASON TO SEE MOVIE NOW. FLOP INCOMING

Maybe a little pessimistic, and I see nothing wrong with people excited about the movie, but I think myself and a lot of people just view this as a really obvious cash grab. It’s pretty amazing that Toy Story 3 and 4 managed to retain so much attendance from the first two films after so many years, and be just as highly revered for the most part. This just didn’t seem to continue that legacy as much. Lightyear seems like it would have been better suited as one of the Toy Story ABC specials or maybe like an hour long Disney Plus special or something.
